Enter two or more fractions separated by "commas"
Ex: 2/3, 5/7 or 3/5, 5/9, 7/3
Given fractions are 137/36,6981/774
Formula to find GCF of Fractions is
GCF = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators
As per the formula GCF of Fractions let’s split into two parts and find the GCF of Numerators and LCM of Denominators
In the given fractions GCF of Numerators means GCF of 137,6981
Greatest Common Factor of Numerators i.e. GCF of 137,6981 is 1 .
LCM of Denominators means LCM of 36,774 as per the given fractions.
LCM of 36,774 is 1548 as it is the smallest common factor for both these numbers.
Lets's calculate GCF of 137,6981
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.

1,3,13,39,179,537,2327,6981
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 137,6981 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 137,6981 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 36,774
2 | 36, 774 |
3 | 18, 387 |
3 | 6, 129 |
2, 43 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 3 x 2 x 43 = 1548
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1548
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 137/36,6981/774 is 1/1548
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 36,774 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(36,774) = 18
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(36,774) x common factors =18 x 1 = 18
LCM(36,774) = ( 36 × 774 ) / 18
LCM(36,774) = 27864 / 18
LCM(36,774) = 1548
